An unnecessary but enjoyable enough remake by George Marshall of his own classic 1939 western. Murphy and Blanchard are no Stewart or Dietrich, but they're good enough and they're supported by a colourful cast which includes Thomas Mitchell as the town drunk promoted to sheriff who hires the pacifist title character to clean up his town, Lyle Bettger as the obligatory shady saloon owner, and Edgar Buchanan as the scruffy town mayor in league with Bettger.
